During the rapidly approaching summer months, the AJ1 is a go-to option for many. While there are multiple low-top iterations of the many Air Jordan classics, the 1 has always stood out to me as a great option, given its ability to take on different colorways successfully. This pack features attributes inspired by three American cities, providing us the opportunity to rep our regions while going about our day-to-day.

The tongue tags on these pairs pay homage to the different cities’ flags, with their uppers following suit. The colors, in combination with the different materials utilized, represent the different aspects of these cities, making each one unique like the cities themselves. The Los Angeles colorway is very reminiscent of the west coast vibe, off-white colored with a blue sole and kumquat accents. The Chicago version is silver with the classic Chicago red and black, featuring a metallic look. Lastly, the NY colorway reminds me of the colors of the city, from the oil on the streets to the constant lights throughout the nighttime.
